Bambu Asian Cuisine

This casual North Dallas restaurant prepares outstanding Isaan-style dishes with high-quality ingredients, many grown in-house by owner Shelly Nan and her mother, Bounmee Nanthaphak. Their prowess shows in dishes like Crying Tiger Beef — slices of nicely marbled beef are seasoned, then cooked on the grill, topped with scallions as well as crushed and toasted rice, then served with citrus-chile sauce.
